Dynamic Content

SP Page Builder 4 weeks ago

Hello support,

I built a new website with dyanmic content on a temporary web server. I backed up using Akeeba and restore it in a new website. It looks like the new dynamic content has a few issues. For examples:

  • The linked content shows a repeat of some of the items listed even though the duplicates have been trashed.
  • No mattar how may items I add, it will only show 10, even though I set the limit to -1.
  • It will not respect the sorting. No matter how many times I drag one item over another one, the rendered page does not change.

FYI, I am using the latest version of Joomla, and the latest version of Page Builder.

Thank you.

Hello Yofie,

I am talking about dynamic content, articles are not involved. perhaps the screenshots will be useful.

1st image: A collectoin that has skills. Notice the order, and there is no repetition. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1goocipnlp2gd7qf511ka/1-skill-collection.png?rlkey=70a4npvnff0jtix9jtds8uahl&dl=0

2nd image when editing a field in a collection, see the repetion. also the order is not right https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0516vkw4e669f4jv1mlot/2-reference-field.png?rlkey=m8sdl9wp0f9u8av0xmnqgp085&dl=0

Thanks Mehtaz,

This may have happened when I used Akeeba Backup, then moved to a new server, or when I upgraded to 6.0 of Page Builder.

If it is going to take long, I may have to delete the Dynamic content, and restart again.

Hello Ahmed,

Sorry for the inconvenience you're experiencing. I've reviewed your site to investigate these issues and am addressing them one by one.

The linked content shows a repeat of some of the items listed even though the duplicates have been trashed

The duplicated items are appearing from the trash, as shown here: prnt.sc/FapBWBmHtY2r. This is a known bug, and I've already informed the development team. It will be addressed in a future update. For now, deleting those items from the trash should prevent them from appearing. If the issue still persists, please let me know and I will investigate further.

No mattar how may items I add, it will only show 10, even though I set the limit to -1.

The reason you're only seeing 10 items is because you currently have only 10 published items, as shown here: prnt.sc/W6N_zOpCFsGK. Only published items will appear on the front end.

It will not respect the sorting. No matter how many times I drag one item over another one, the rendered page does not change.

Currently, changing the order only affects the front end display and doesn't reflect in the back end. I've also reported this issue to the development team.

Additionally, I noticed that you created the listing page in the Detail Pages collection, which is incorrect. The listing page should be created in the Index Page collection: prnt.sc/hhoQqnTLrok5.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.

Best regards

The problem is that I cannot see the status in the listing, even it I turned of most ot the columns. . I did not even realsied that some of the itmes are not published yet, see attached image

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/fr57ehqyuh47o2t2xqarc/colums-show.png?rlkey=n0pq4l3t7jrisfiw3448k5u2b&dl=0

I also do not understand what you meant here: "Additionally, I noticed that you created the listing page in the Detail Pages collection, which is incorrect. The listing page should be created in the Index Page collection: prnt.sc/hhoQqnTLrok5."

I watech every YouTube video that covers this subject, unfortunatly, the videos do not do justice to this feature.

Just to clarify, each Dynamic Content setup typically involves two page types: one for the listing page and another for the details page. For the listing page, you should be using the Index page (as shown here: prnt.sc/_4Z4wiSUf3ua). It appears you're currently using the details page for your listing.

Hope this helps! If the issue still persists, please let me know and I will investigate further.

Best regards

I found a small bug. In the dynamic content item list, if you decided not to show certain columns, you must click on the name of the column and not the check box under the Show header. If you click on the check box to deselect, it make no changes.

Hello Ahamed, I also work with Joomla SP and Helix Ultimate. Everything is in the latest version. In my opinion, it's still a bit unusable.

I'm still waiting to use it, especially since Joomla is now turning everything upside down. Best wishes from Switzerland, Bea

You are right, it is almost feel like a half cooked meal. It has got potential. I understand it is a complex feature to add, and I am glad that JS dared to. I hope the team at Joomshaper succeed.

I'm currently uninstalling everything that's not really important. SP itself is also no longer as stable as it was in the previous version.

How about you? Is SP running smoothly?

Joomshaper has been and still the best that happened to Joomla. Their Pagebuilder is one of the best I have used and that includes the more famous ones in WordPress. I have used their products, mainly Page Builder, and their Helix template to create about 10 sites, including ours, for more than 10 years. Their framework is great for SEO. Their support is great. The only shortfall is with the dynamic content feature. I never used it with any website because is is still not cooked yet. I tried with the latest project, and I will give it a pass. I have no doubt that the team at JS will fix the bugs in due time.

What concern me now with Dynamic Content feature, it doesnt have SEO features, no place to set meta description or else. And sitemaps seems can't auto crawl the Dynamic Content detail pages.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I also enjoy the page builder; it's been a great addition to Joomla 🏅.

I just launched my website and was a bit surprised by the number of bugs I encountered.

It's helpful for me that everything is going well for you, so I can better estimate when to launch client projects.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me 🙏
